The present application relates to tubing fittings and in particular to a split fitting which can be field installed without the need to install the fitting axially over the end of a tube or a pipe. Compression fittings for tubing connections are known. Typically, such connectors utilize a threaded nut slipped over the open end of a first tube and a ferrule slipped on the end of the first tube thereafter. The ferrule bites into the first tube either before or during the mating of the threaded nut with a male threaded tubing connector having a tapered inside bevel. The bevel uses a wedge action to compress the ferrule to seal between the nut and the first tube. The male threaded tubing connector is connected to a second tube.
